Judge Orders Kesha to Remain in Contract with Producer She Says Raped Her
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A judge has ordered pop star Kesha to remain in a contract that forces
her to work with the producer she says drugged and raped her when she
was 18. Kesha was shown sobbing in court after a judge upheld the
contract. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich said, "My
instinct is to do the commercially reasonable thing." The contract
requires Kesha to record six more albums with Sony, despite accusations
of abuse against producer Luke Gottwald.
